    The infromation I received from my Dell rep is as long as you are
    running Open Mange version 4.3, you should not have any problems. I
    also assume if you are not running Dell Open Mange you should not have a
    problem.

    Do you know what version of Open Mange was running on the problem
    machine? Anyone want to test this on a domain controller?

    Please be advised that Microsoft has a problem with SP1 for windows 2003
    server and Dell Poweredge servers that are configured as domain
    controllers. Installing SP will (likely) blue screen your server with a
    corrupted registry. The source of the problem is still unknown but is
    suspected to be related to an incompatability with the DELL Open Manage
    software.
